Uggla in 3 games with the Giants, 0-8 with 4 Ks and 3 errors.

 

Haha I always remember his 3 errors in the All Star Game.

 

And if you want to know what a hippo looks like actually playing a position, there's always Dayan Viciedo! Hey-o!

Tank the Hippo wants to be in the water but instead he is rolling around in the brush after misjudging the location of the river.

Wow that's bad. I didn't know that happened. LOL so maybe there really is someone out there who sucks harder than Beckham.

Maybe if we just had a water feature out there somewhere, he'd be less aggressive.

ah man, that was sweet.

He's been awful, he personally cost Peavy a couple runs the other day. Sometimes I wonder what these front offices are thinking, wishcasting Uggla or Morales as anything other than useless replacement level players at this point is beyond silly.

 

I guess every GM thinks that in the right situation an older talented" player will turn it around. Heck, KW did it with Griffey when he was washed up.

.....and Manny.

No one ever said that GM's were smart. It was another GM who gave that contract to Uggla in the first place.

Then all you statamaniacs could graph outside zone swing% against water sprays... I bet you'd find a sharp increase in walks occurring in PAs immediately following OF hose-downs.

Greg started it! Wite said that Beckham wasn't the biggest bust in franchise history because he actually managed to hold down a job in the MLB for a while, whereas many other high draft choices never even made it that far. Instead of reading anything, greg saw that wite had said something NOT negative about Beckham, and goes "well the SABR guys think Beckham is good, wtf is up with that?" So then we decided to see how long it would take for greg to actually read a post.

 

I don't get it. Why are you saying that I think Beckham is a really good player? I've said NOTHING of the like.

Why do you think the Royals are interested in him?

This post is brilliant. 5 stars for you!

Maybe get a firehose and spray him down when he chases a slider two feet out of the zone?

Who wants a drink from the firehose?!?!?!?

You probably want to hose him down sporadically as it is just to keep him from mounting Southpaw. You let Tank the Hippo get too hot out there & he'll go into the stands, grab Southpaw by the nape of the neck & drag him out onto the warning track.

So many great moments in that movie.

 

Kuni & his gang bursting out of the janitorial closet going "Supplies!" might be my favorite. Also the pet show guy.... that guy actually died during filming IIRC. He was supposed to have a larger role I think but they cut it out.

 

Badgers? Badgers?! WE DON'T NEED NO STINKING BADGERS!!!!

Why has Hahn not DFA'd Beckham yet? 3 viable options sitting at AAA, Beckham hitting .122 in July....what is the hold up here? Just do it already.

See if you can get anything, even a team eating his salary. There's no harm right now. Plus you save on service time as well.

DFA him anyway. You still have a few days to find a trading partner.

No reason to DFA him. He's still better than L Garcia. Send L Garcia down.

Beckham needs to be gone by August 1st

I hope we trade him to some NL team. I'm sure he'll be hot for 2 weeks after he goes to his new team and it'd suck if the Sox had to play that team.
